8. Koloa Landing Wyndham Grand Resort

At the just-opened Koloa Landing Wyndham Grand Resort at Kauai's Po'ipu Beach, the hotel rooms are like stylishly indulgent apartments with kitchens that just beg you to cook. Stock the fridge with local bounty: fresh mahimahi at Koloa Fish Market, island produce from the Kukui'ula farmers' market. When the apps are prepped, push aside your living room's wall of pocket doors to serve dinner on the breezy lanai. After dessert, slip out for a massage in a thatched-roof hale under the palms at the Grand Hyatt Kauai while everyone else loads the dishwasher. After all, you're on vacation.
